BUB1B Gene Description BUB1 budding uninhibited by benzimidazoles 1 homolog beta (yeast) Alternative Names BUBR1, Bub1A, MAD3L Molecular Weight 125 kDa Summary This gene encodes a kinase involved in spindle checkpoint function. The protein has been localized to the kinetochore and plays a role in the inhibition of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), delaying the onset of anaphase and ensuring proper chromosome segregation. Impaired spindle checkpoint function has been found in many forms of cancer.1 |
